Let’s start drawing cute whales!
To draw a cute whale, start with a big oval body and add a small round head with a happy smile. Draw a little tail at the back, two fins on the side, and a water spout on top for extra cuteness.
Don’t forget to add big, sparkly eyes and color your whale with fun shades of blue, gray, or even pink! 🐳💦
